• Answer:

  I've come to believe that the best electric starter package is the Behringer MetAlien iAXE629 USB version (you can also get it in an amp version for the same price $150). It gives you a lot of voicings, multi-track recording ability, and you can play through your computer sound system and/or headphones. Very, very versatile. http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--BEHUSBIAXE629 Best acoustic to get, IMO, is a nylon string classical. The reasons are, it plays as easily as an electric (unlike a steel-string acoustic), the strings last longer, it's lighter, and the strings are further apart making it easier to fret the string without touching others. The tone is also superior (sounds better). Here is a link describing desirable qualities in a classical guitar. http://www.classicalguitarstore.com/pages/a_few_pointers.htm The lowest price guitar at that shop is currently $350, but you can count on it's quality. In general you should be able to find a Hernandez or Garcia that is made in Japan (using factory specs and materials) for less than that. I also have an Alvarez (Yairi) classical that is very nice. You might be able to find one of these for $100-200. Pawn shops would be a good place to look.
